Ravi is Evangelical more than Protestant and every Christian who I know who’s heard him basically agrees with all his doctrine.

I find it very interesting that so many Catholics make all kinds of odd statements and condemnations about what Christians believe and yet think so highly of someone who so thoroughly represents Evangelical thought.

I find nothing of what he preaches to be un-Scriptural.

It is not surprising to me as we agree on much more than that which we disagree.

As I said, when and if something is preached that is overtly or covertly against what I believe as a Catholic, I am not offended by it and know that though we disagree, the faith of the preacher is honest and true.

It is a mistaken assumption by non-Catholics that the Church insists on only one understanding of every verse in the Bible from her adherents.

Very few verses are stringently interpreted. There is incredible depth to the Bible, that should one study it for their entire life, one could still find new meaning in a verse one has read a thousand times previously. I doubt anyone has ever fully plumbed all that the Bible has to teach us.

As long as that preaching contains nothing that attacks or denies Catholic truths, there is no reason a Catholic could not listen to it or possibly profit from it.
If one of our priests decided to give a sermon with nothing but Biblical references, there would be absolutely no problem with it. Nothing in the Scriptures contradicts Catholic truth.

It was I who mentioned Zacharias, and I am not a Roman Catholic. Not sure what you find odd. You think Catholics are not Christians?

My belief is that sola believers (which I once was) lack the fullness of the faith which is preserved in the one holy catholic and apostolic church.

To the extent that a person holds the faith which the church holds (and has always held) is the extent to which his teaching can be received by the faithful.
